Kage Cinema Collection

Kage, a womenswear brand created by childhood friends Arwa Abdelhadi and Basma Abu Ghazaleh has produced yet another great collection after their successful launch in 2009. Based in Dubai, the designers describe their new Cinema Collection as a tribute to the style iconettes of the 1950s and 60s with a modern twist. The pair have matured in their designs but the collection still remains playful and fun. The structured tops with shoulder embellishing are particularly pleasing. I am also a fan of the boyfriend-like button down shirts that are given a feminine touch with beautifully done black cuffs. Kage puts a spin on the Little Black Dress (LBD) by creating their own version, entitled the Little Kage Dress. The collection keeps it simple and does not go overboard in details which is refreshing. I am also quite a fan of the ad campaign used for this collection. The images are flirtatious, sexy and sassy. Well done Kage and congratulations on your newest collection! The label can be found all over the Middle East including Boutique 1 in Dubai, Kitsch and Cream in Beirut, and Closet Candy in Kuwait.
